Editorial Review

The Scene
Comfy sofas wrap around a half-dozen cocktail tables while stools surround another half-dozen raised tables at this casual throwback lounge. Arrive early if you want a quiet meal and attentive service or come after 10pm if you crave a wilder atmosphere when the music kicks things up a notch with each night showcasing a different genre from European trance to Latin salsa.

The Food
Appetizers are your standard finger food fare like grilled shrimp skewers  and buffalo wings; yet the chicken quesadillas (crunchy whole-wheat tortillas wrapped a blend of melted mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and chicken breast chunks) were exceptional. Light eaters might favor the teriyaki chicken wrap with onions sauteed in tangy teriyaki. The tender 8-ounce filet mignon is topped off with a red wine demi-glace to give the beef a juicy kick.
